Erie Tree Incentive Program registration open until Feb. 28

Erie's Parks and Recreation Department is accepting registration for the 2017 Residential Tree Incentive Program, which enters town residents into a drawing for $100 to buy a tree.

Erie residents 18 years or older can register between now and Feb. 28 at www.erieco.gov/TreeIncentive. There is a limit of one entry per household.

The number of entrants is limited, but as of Tuesday, there were more than 3,600 openings remaining.

A lottery drawing will take place March 1, with 400 $100 certificates available to go toward the purchase of a tree.

Results will be published 3 p.m. March 3 at www.erieco.gov/TreeIncentiveProgram. The certificates and tree information packets are expected to be mailed to winning residents three days later by March 6.
